  1. Lost my user profile and search bar doesn't work.


    I have so many bad things going on. I can't access my regular profile. Don't know why, it just happened after a restart. I tried so many stuff I watched on youtube and i read on the internet, nothing seems to work. Also, my search bar is dead as well. I can't do or type anything. Is total reset, which I don't want, the only solution? Help.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Lost my user profile and search bar doesn't work. :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

    Lost my user profile and search bar doesn't work.

    Windows-10 update KB4058043: Search bar doesn't work after update

    After the most recent Store reliability update (KB4058043), I have the exact same problems as described in a year-old update issue:

    Windows 10 Anniversary update: Search bar doesn't work after update

    In addition to the start menu, entering search text in the "Windows Settings" dialog's search-box also freezes it.

    I've tried all solutions provided therein, but none has worked so far. So far I've tried solutions based on

    • DCIM tool
    • A PowerShell script
    • Tweaking.com's repair tool

    How do I fix it?
